Superpowerless is 20 year old electro artist Oliver Hindle from Leeds (England). In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless is “Game Boy-fueled adventurecore” but is probably easier to describe as video game-influenced electro-pop with pop punk guitar. He started out playing drums for a number of small high school pop punk bands, which never got to a gigging stage. He learned guitar and started writing solo songs while playing in bands with friends. Oliver was then introduced to electronic music which would influence his musical direction. “After hearing the Postal Service, I started listening to electronic bands like Depeche Mode, Adult, and Motion City Soundtrack. I decided it was something I wanted to have a go at, so I bought a synth off eBay and started putting some songs together.”

Buttonmash Boy (Beta EP Version)

Artist: Superpowerless

“This EP has a misleading title. The electronic melodies that constitute the core of his sound is finely crafted, and seem more akin to the calm executions of a top-notch player than a frantic-fingered Smash Brothers novice. Oliver Hindle of Leeds is the mastermind behind pixel punk, and with controller in hand, he charges into his most cohesive release yet with the turbo button held firmly down. The sampler leaves you anticipating the full length release. Despite the Superpowerless name, I suppose it’s true that songwriting has never been toted as a comic-worthy super ability. However, it’s clear that he is on his way to becoming the burgeoning genre’s man of steel.” – Jeff Kovach II

Michael Jackson. A legend. 1958 – 2009.

Mike inspired many generations of musicians all over the world with his music, including several members of Scrub Club Records.

And now, in his wake, Superpowerless has covered four of his biggest hits in his own chiptune way. Think along the lines of 8Bit Nintendo meets MJ. It’s a Pixel Punk journey back to when pop music could actually be good music.

Kick back, put this EP on, and swim in some memories. Or, you know, get out your Game Boy and mosh along.

Superpowerless is at it again.

Known rather well for his numerous, zany music videos, Superpowerless has released yet another visual oddity for his cover of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” The video shows himself and fellow bandmate B-Type fighting in the streets with incredibly lethal lightsabers and a faux beard. The dedicated fans of Superpowerless immediately download every new project or clip from the band, and that has garnered the attention of the Leeds Metropolitan University, from which Oliver from Superpowerless himself is a student. They wrote up a mention on the video:
